We seldom regard matters which are not of present enjoyment.

The case is otherwise with you.

There is far more truth, my own experience tells me, in the profession of your sex, whether in love or in religion, than in ours--and believe me, I mean this as no idle compliment--I feel it to be true.

The fact is, society itself puts you into a sphere and condition, which, taking from you much of your individuality, makes you less exclusive in your affections, and more single in their exercise.

Your existence being merged in that of the stronger sex, you lose all that general selfishness which is the strict result of our pursuits.
